Of course it does not fulfill the libertarian ideal, because it is just a ruse to keep the rich in power. But the libertarian ideal would just be a more extreme version of empowering the rich than the phony Republican version.
Once again you have demonstrated your crystal clear anti-logic. I am pretty sure that Obozocare is not a libertarian program. Libertarians have been pushing for spending cuts for decades. I am pretty sure that it wasn't libertarians that were pushing for bank bailouts or the monetary printing spree the Fed embarked on. Then there is that little matter of having the NSA spy on everybody and then there is the TSA.
I would not call any of these things a victory for libertarians. Apparently, in the Bizzaro world that you live in they do. You really need to ease off the mind altering substances because you don't have the brain cells to spare.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken
If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action. -- Ludwig von Mises
